(Original Air Date: 02/12/07) Three couples continue an intensive workshop with Dr. Phil, in a last-ditch effort to save their marriages. After almost getting kicked out of the house, Nic and Amanda sit down with Dr. Phil to discuss their biggest issues: their falling out with Nic’s mother, Amanda’s job as an exotic dancer and the affair she’s been having with a patron. With surprise visits from his mother and the man sleeping with his wife, Nic struggles with his emotions. Can he get everything on the table and find some closure? Will Amanda be unified with her husband and tell the other man that it’s over for good? Then, Cherie watches from another room as her husband, John, talks with Dr. Phil, but it's not long before she becomes outraged by what she hears. She joins the men to tell her side of the story. Plus, does an unexpected visit by Cherie’s mother make John pack up and leave? Join the discussion.

Find out what happened on the show.

personal safety

Quote From: housewife52

I wanted to tell you about some thoughts I had recently about stripping after reading a post by the messinger. First of all, I have always, from way back, defended a woman's right to do whatever,and not be dissed or judged by anyone. So, I defend Amanda's right to strip.Any and all of us have the right ot choose what we want to do in our lives and not have other people judge us. And, even though there were a lot of negative posts the first time these shows aired and there still are this time around, I have a feeling that stripping may be more acceptable to folks than it may have been in the long past. Then I came across the post from messinger and it got me to thinking. Not about being selfrightous, or pious. Not about the strippers "luring" men in to watch them. Not about being judgemental. It got me to thinking about the individual woman who is willing to strip. It got me to wondering if a woman who chooses to strip, DOES have deeper issues within herself that makes her decide to persue this line of work. I'm 53 next month and I'm not set in my ways of thinking. I'm always open to new ideas and I am constantly learning new things. I don't think I'll ever get too old to be open to new ways of thinking. I now find myself feeling compassion for the individual woman who strips, wondering if there is something in her life that has brought her to this profession. I have a daughter who is 25 and I would worry about her if she decided to persue stripping. I would worry about her personal safety and her state of mind. How do you feel about themessinger's first post?

You mention that you would be concerned about your daughter's personal safety.

Well, I always was conerned.

I would go to sleep at night worrying about soemone following her or hurting her.

I think that was my biggest issue with it.

I am happy to report that the bouncers at the places take their safety very seriously and do everything they can to make sure they are safe.

I appreciate so many of you that do not judge Amanda.

We all have our crosses to bare.

07/23 The Dr. Phil House: Man Camp, Part 3

Quote From: penny_lady

I'm not "pro stripper"...I am pro "live and let live".

If my daughter seemed to truly enjoy it that would be her business. Again, there are other things she could do with her life that I would find much more disturbing than stripping. But if she was happy, not hurting anyone and if she kept herself safe then I would have no problem with it. Just as with any other life choice of hers.

I agree with you. Don't we all just want our children to be happy?

Amanda is an incredible mother, and is an honor student in college.

There are plenty of kids out there that do worse things.

Life is too short to spend my energies judging others.

Man Camp?

I've been in these same postions with numerous relationships. The bottom line is that yes the title of the show may not be what we all think it should have been, but it was a good show none the less. Some of you may think that this was a bunch of adults acting immaturely, but the fact of the matter is this happens everyday for many many people. These are the lives of couples around the country. Both husbands and the wives are in need of help. Whether it's the husbands doing the abusing or the wives sitting around allowing it to happen, they need help. And I really think that in all three of these cases they are too far gone and need to walk away. That is definately opinion only. I hope that this "Man Camp" will help them resolve the issues, but all in all you can't change other people only yourself. So the odds of these couples all deciding that they each want to change themselves is very low.
